From Underdogs to Contenders: How the 2024-25 Trail Blazers Are Redefining NBA Comebacks
In that stretch, the Heat took their offense from a -3.2 O-TRACR to a 3.4 O-TRACR, and their defense from a 0.5 D-TRACR to a -2.5 D-TRACR.

Remember when people thought the Celtics needed to trade one of Jaylen Brown or Jayson Tatum? Those criticisms were loudest midway through the 2021-22 season, when the Boston Celtics were 20-21 at the official midpoint of the regular season.
Then, by moving Marcus Smart to point guard (allowing him to facilitate for the two scorers), the Celtics took their offense from average (0.4 O-TRACR) to electric (5.4 O-TRACR). And on defense, they came up with creative tactics to keep their rim guardian, Robert Williams III, near the paint at all times – fully unlocking the titanic defense we have come to know and love today (going from a -1.5 D-TRACR to a -6.5 D-TRACR).
